Im in my 7th month and this burning feeling after every meal is killing me yaar, especially at night when i lie down. Cant sleep properly because of it. What worked for you all to ease it?
Honestly, same here, I am struggling with this so much in my second trimester! Did you try avoiding spicy food? Let me know if you find anything that actually works.
My mother told me to drink cold milk or chew on fennel seeds (saunf) after meals, which really helped calm my stomach. However, do check with your doctor if it becomes too painful to eat.
I am in my 18th week and dealing with terrible heartburn every single night! Cold milk helps slightly, but did anyone else face this so early? I'm so worried it will get worse.
A short, gentle walk of 10 minutes after dinner really helped my digestion and reduced heartburn. Please don't lie down immediately after eating, and only do light walking if your doctor has allowed it.
Oh, I feel your pain, heartburn combined with morning sickness is the worst. Try sleeping with two pillows to raise your head and avoid citrus fruits. Sucking on a small piece of jaggery sometimes helped me.
During my prenatal class, the hospital nutritionist advised eating small, frequent meals rather than large ones. They also suggested sleeping with your head elevated. If it's too severe, definitely ask your doctor for a safe antacid gel.
Heartburn can be really annoying during pregnancy. I kept my meals very simple, non-spicy, and avoided sleeping right after eating. Take it slow, keep a food journal, and don't hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.
